Across 638 square miles, under one square mile of Eau Claire County maps onto soluble rock. With about 108,830 residents (171 per square mile), homes are spread across towns and farmland, and a mapped unit may or may not reach the developed parts. The figures come from 396 map points about 1.3 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
